Street Fighter is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and it sounds like fans of the series attending Comic-Con should expect some big things. Series producer Yoshinori Ono told IGN last month that, “around E3 timing, maybe even San Diego Comic-Con, we have one or two surprises we hope our fans will look forward to.”

Green Arrow writer and artist, Mike Grell, announced on his website that he’s been invited as a Special Guest for this year’s Comic-Con. Expect a formal announcement from CCI in the coming weeks, but fans can look forward to seeing Grell back for the first time since 2009.
